Private First Class Avery Stringer died on April 13 at Fort Bragg in North Carolina. Family members say he was found deceased in his room.

Avery was a 2012 graduate from Roseburg High School.

His friends told KPIC News that he was the type of person you couldn't help but love. "He was basically one of the best people to be around," said Tim Minter. "Most likely if you didn't know him, you knew of him, because he was such a great person."

Those who knew Avery describe him as an active, funny guy, who always did what he could to make others smile. "He wanted everybody else to be happy. He would literally do anything to make other people happy," said Stringer's friend, Brodie Minter.

He says he is happy to have the issue put to rest, and he is working with insurance officials and the owner of the building to determine where to go from here. "As far as the negative things said about me, the investigation resolves, at least knowing that it wasn't arson," Bass said.

Firefighters responded and battle the flames for over 2 hours before they were able to bring the fire under control. The Roseburg Fire Department said crews were putting 3,000 gallons of water per minute on the fire at one point.

Roseburg police say since there was not evidence of arson, their case has been closed.

#4 Douglas Complex Fire devestates

People were displaced and homes were evacuated back in July by the Douglas Complex fires.

The South County area was think with smoke for weeks, making hazardous conditions for many residents, especially in the Glendale area.

GLENDALE, Ore. -- Homes to the west of Glendale were evacuated Saturday as fires in the Douglas Complex continue to grow.

To the north, officials from the Oregon Department of Forestry ordered an evacuation for homes west of McCullough Creek Road at 4:30 p.m. Saturday. That evacuation stretched to Reuben Road.

Douglas County Sheriff's deputies are asking people living east of McCullough Creek Rd. to the mill west of Glendale to prepare for a possible evacuation.

Later that evening Governor Kitzhaber declared the branch of the Douglas Complex fires burning near Glendale a conflagration. The declaration authorized the state fire marshal to mobilize structural firefighters and equipment to help crews already battling the fire with protecting structures.

Officials say a total of 45 homes were evacuated, and 300 more are threatened by the fires near Glendale. Residents that have been evacuated can contact the Red Cross Shelter at Glendale Elementary School.

"Investigators are following up on tips and information as it comes in," Hutson said.

Langford said Tellone was living with Brittney and him out of fear of a specific person.

"In my mind there's only one person that could be behind an act like this, because in my opinion this wasn't just a random act," he said. "Someone didn't just draw our names out of a hat and say I'm going to go kill that family today, that's just not what happened."

Langford said legal action would bring him some closure.

"You know they're not still out there or at least they're not living their life like nothing happened," he said.
